'Good behavior' not always relevant - LETTER TO THE EDITOR: May 25

Saturday, May 25, 2013

The front page article in the May 19 Oakland Press was the story about neighbors being concerned after man convicted of murder is paroled and moves to a Pontiac group home. This man had been convicted in the killing of a 9-year-old girl who had her head caved in a rock after suffering multiple stab wounds

According to the parole board, part of the rationale for justifying this parole was his behavior in prison. Maybe it's considered a plus that while there he didn't murder any more 9-year-old girls. And this is a guy who committed this heinous crime within three months of being released from the Wayne County Training Home. I can only hope that history doesn't repeat itself.
